Havana, Cuba. Feb. 15.—Rumors of

of several officers and men. A rigid
investigation is under way by government authorities.
Secretary of State Hevia today denied thst the entrance to Santiago
harbor bad been mined as cabled to
the mlied States on authority of Major Fernandez, the revolutionary leader.
Tbe government today sent an order to the I'nited States for a num-
ber of aeroplanes. The order was
despatched after President Menocal
and Captain Parla, army aviator, had
held a Ion,; conference. Because of tha
difficult ground,, it ls believed the rebels can be fought to a better advantage from the clouds.
The private yacht of former President Gomes, Julllo, captured by government troops, was today added to j
the n.arlnc forces of the republic. Ni |
enlistments of soldiers will be permitted, to expire until the rebellion is

The Spanish minister asked a modification of tiie decree, permitting Span
tab subject** to leave tbe army, but
President Menocal refused saying it
was directet, at no nationality.
President Menocal today accepted
the reservation of Brigadier General
Mauuel sfanguilla Inspector general of
the r.rmy. wbo was at one time in Gomez' cabinet.
Late election returns today indicated ac overwhelming victory for the
conservatives and the continuance of
tha present administration ia power.

Menocal 493; Zayas 3; Arayama gave

Says They Rechristen Timidity as "Good Will to
Men."
International News Service.
Washington, D. C, Feb. 15.—William J. Bryan and his followers were
characterized, as "those who place
loyalty to Oermany above loyalty to
America" by Representative Gardner
of Massachusetts in tbe house today.
Declaring tbat Bryan proposes that
"Wo should present a united front
to the enemy by first tearing the nation asunder," In a peace campaign,
Gardner accused the former secretary of state of "appealing to the
cowardice that lurks in every man's
breast."
"Tbis cowardice," Gardner continued, "they glorify by calling lt
GOOD WILL TO MEN" and timidity
they have rechrlstened SERVICE TO
HUMANITY." They are trying to
goad the people Into a campaign in
which class wlll be arrayad against
class and race will be arrayed against
race. Smooth-tongued speakers are
to be employed and trenchant pens
are to be sharpened. Perchance, for
eign gold may be spent, who knows?
Then, when tha nation successful
split In two halves, animated by ba
tred of each other, rather tbaa by a
joint hatred of the foreign foe, when
our courage Is at tbe lowest ebb,
when our righteous indignation has
been sufficiently aspersed, then we
are to vote upon the question of
peace or war. If tha vote be for
peace, we are to submit to any lndlg
nlties, rather than Btrlke back. If
the vote be for war, as a nation divided against Itself, we are to go
forth to battle.
"The president of the United
States, our captain, even now should
be nerving us for the struggle. By
every means ln his power he should
frown down this campaign of Wm.
Jennings Bryan, who is whispering
to tbe rank and file that death awaits
them at every turn, that the cause
for which they are enlisted is unjust."
Gardner was replying to a recent
speech by Representative Moore of
Pennsylvania, ln which Moore Intimated that a newspaper conspiracy
had been organised to mislead the
public in International relations.
Gardner declared Germany had had
a much fairer show In tbe press than
Great Britain.

Berlin, Germany, Feb. 15.—Empero.*
William, in he flrst interview he has
given since the war began, predlcVi
that the submarine blockade will bit
England harder than anything else
since the conflict broke out.
The lnter^.'ew, which was given' out
In Vienna to the Austrian poet and
playwright Hans Mueller, has jua'.
been received here.
In part Mueller says:
"It is a source of gratification ant
confidence to hear Kaiser Wilhelm
speak about the sharpest of all ovr
weapons, the new submarine war,
whose results, military,* political and
psychological, he already appraises as
considerable
"In the course of his talk the K*i-
ser exclaimed:
"Look at the European neutrals
Read the Swedish answer, this document written as lf for all eternity.
Now the neutrals know right well they
■lave to estimate our strength, but llk-s
wise our will for peace. For the first
time in a certain sense, tbe declared
will of the small neutral states
stand against the. Anglo Saxon world
and Napoleon's continental blockade,
from a phantom, ls becoming a reall-.y
—one wbich will hit England harder
tban anything else heretofore."
After speaking of the cordial sp-rit
existing between the Germans and
Attstro Hungarians, the Kaiser declared:
"The goal is set and things are g >•
ing ahead."
Asked about his letter to the chan
cellor suggesting that peace proposa s
be made, the Emperor was quoted as
saying:
"This letter had to be written. This
step bad to bo taken. For now all the
world knows who those are who impose continued miseries on humanity"

about tbe place as usual. As mentioned in Wednesday's Review, the remains were conveyed to the Cassaday
ft Turkle undertaking rooms and prepared for burial.
Tbe deceased had been a resident
of Alliance for a number of years and
was known among his acquaintances
as "Doc" Lydle .and had been employed as a teamster. The surviving relatives include the father, Luther

Columbus, O., Feb. 15.—Although
Senator Holden of Warren, Democrat,
today announced bis intuition to
move a reconsideration of the vote
wbich passed the Reynolds woman's
presidential suffrage bill through tbe
senate late yesterday, Other members
who voted against it indicated a de-
slre to let the matter drop.
Bome anti-suffragists have induced
several attorneys here to consider tbe
question wbetber a state referendum
would be legally held against the Rey
nolds bill inasmuch as it relates to
the national government. If these
lawyers decide that the bill could not
be subjected to a referendum, strenuous effort's, lt ls said, will be made
to have the bill reconsidered and defeated.
Friends of the bill claimed that the
federal and state supreme courts have
ruled that a referendum, as" a legists
tive function, ls a part of the proced
ure ln the enactment, or defeat, of a
measure, and that the Reynolds bill
may be subjected to a referendum.
They said, however, that they bave
no fear of the outcome tf a referendum is resorted to.
A dispatch from Berne stated that [called from.Brusscla
a big demonstration was given tbe Ge-
Fird party when lt left that city for

Washington, D. C„ Feb. IB —
Brand Whitlock, American minister
to Belgium, probably wtll be recalled
from Brussels and sent to Havre
I where the Belgian government now is
established. Definite decision will be
reached on this question shortly by
the Utate department.
Secretary of State Lansing announced today that be has received
confirmation of the report that Mr.
Whltlock was required to lower the
American flag from the embassy ln
Brussels. The secretary made it
plain that this was a request and not
an order from the German officials.
Tbe status of Mr. Whltlock and
the members of the American Belgian relief commission is seriously
troubling the state department. Most
of the Americans are expected to be
sent out of German controlled Bel-
glum, but permitted to use tbe diplomatic oode in communicating jrith
this government and aj* messages
are notvety clear to the depart m gent
which now Ig tryin gto learn whether Mr. Whltlock and the Americans
with him actually are being detained by tbe German authorities.
President Wilson today talked over
with Secretary Lansing the situation
in Belgium. There waa no effort
made in official circles to disguise
the grave concern felt over the Whltlock situation. It is certain that it
lt Is proven. true, tbat our minister
ls under detention * peremptory demand for his release will be made.
The Inquiries as to the exact facta
In the case are being prosecuted
through the Swiss minister here and
the Spanish Ambassador at Berlin.
It was stated at the Wblte House
today that the report that the President was to go to congress today or
tomorrov to "take the next step" ln
the German submarine situation was
not true. No arrangements have
been made by the President, lt was
said. He ls awaiting developments
and has not as yet decided whether
he will ask congress definitely to authorize the arming of American vessels.
So far as the Austrian situation Is
concerned there has been no change
as yet. This government .through
Ambassador Penfield in Vienna, has
asked Austria to outline her exact
position on the question of unlimited submarine warfare. While awaiting a reply it ls getting all Americans out of the territory of the Central Powers,
The position of the Americana In
Turkey is admittedly troublesome.
There are l.uuti' there and up tp the
present tt has been found impossible
to make arrangements to get them
out.
Mighty strides have been taken
by the council of national defense
wheib bas been in almost continuous
sessions in Washington this week.
It has well under way plans for
standardizing big Industrial plants ln
the event of war and tor securing
co-operation from the railroads so
that troop and munition movements
can be expedited.
Is connection with the Whltlock
situation Secretary Lansing today
called attention to the fact that he
had had no diplomatic status tor '
some time. He has been in Brussels
directing the relief work there. Now
that the United States has broken off
relations witn Germany, Mr. Whit*
lock will have to be re-called, offl-
cl als say. When this is done probably in the next day or so, he wil]
proceed to Havre.
The state department ls having
great difficulty ln getting communication from its representatives In
Austria, Bulgaria and Turkey and
Ambassador Elkus, at Constantinople, reports that he Is unable to communicate wltb American consul of*
ficials ln Interior Turkey.
No Answer on V. 8. Prisoners.
No reply has yet been received td
the latest demands for the releasa
of the Yarrowdale prisoners, but officials at the state department say they
are hoping their release will be secured shortly. Ambassador Gerard
today sent from ■ Berne confirmation
that he had refused to discuss with
tbs Oerman foreign office before leaving Berlin the question of reaffirming the amended Prussian treaty of
1799.

Correspondent.
Washington, D. C„ Feb. IB —
Brand Whitlock, American minister
to Belgium, probably wtll be recalled
from Brussels and sent to Havre
I where the Belgian government now is
established. Definite decision will be
reached on this question shortly by
the Utate department.
Secretary of State Lansing announced today that be has received
confirmation of the report that Mr.
Whltlock was required to lower the
American flag from the embassy ln
Brussels. The secretary made it
plain that this was a request and not
an order from the German officials.
Tbe status of Mr. Whltlock and
the members of the American Belgian relief commission is seriously
troubling the state department. Most
of the Americans are expected to be
sent out of German controlled Bel-
glum, but permitted to use tbe diplomatic oode in communicating jrith
this government and aj* messages
are notvety clear to the depart m gent
which now Ig tryin gto learn whether Mr. Whltlock and the Americans
with him actually are being detained by tbe German authorities.
President Wilson today talked over
with Secretary Lansing the situation
in Belgium. There waa no effort
made in official circles to disguise
the grave concern felt over the Whltlock situation. It is certain that it
lt Is proven. true, tbat our minister
ls under detention * peremptory demand for his release will be made.
The Inquiries as to the exact facta
In the case are being prosecuted
through the Swiss minister here and
the Spanish Ambassador at Berlin.
It was stated at the Wblte House
today that the report that the President was to go to congress today or
tomorrov to "take the next step" ln
the German submarine situation was
not true. No arrangements have
been made by the President, lt was
said. He ls awaiting developments
and has not as yet decided whether
he will ask congress definitely to authorize the arming of American vessels.
So far as the Austrian situation Is
concerned there has been no change
as yet. This government .through
Ambassador Penfield in Vienna, has
asked Austria to outline her exact
position on the question of unlimited submarine warfare. While awaiting a reply it ls getting all Americans out of the territory of the Central Powers,
The position of the Americana In
Turkey is admittedly troublesome.
There are l.uuti' there and up tp the
present tt has been found impossible
to make arrangements to get them
out.
Mighty strides have been taken
by the council of national defense
wheib bas been in almost continuous
sessions in Washington this week.
It has well under way plans for
standardizing big Industrial plants ln
the event of war and tor securing
co-operation from the railroads so
that troop and munition movements
can be expedited.
Is connection with the Whltlock
situation Secretary Lansing today
called attention to the fact that he
had had no diplomatic status tor '
some time. He has been in Brussels
directing the relief work there. Now
that the United States has broken off
relations witn Germany, Mr. Whit*
lock will have to be re-called, offl-
cl als say. When this is done probably in the next day or so, he wil]
proceed to Havre.
The state department ls having
great difficulty ln getting communication from its representatives In
Austria, Bulgaria and Turkey and
Ambassador Elkus, at Constantinople, reports that he Is unable to communicate wltb American consul of*
ficials ln Interior Turkey.
No Answer on V. 8. Prisoners.
No reply has yet been received td
the latest demands for the releasa
of the Yarrowdale prisoners, but officials at the state department say they
are hoping their release will be secured shortly. Ambassador Gerard
today sent from ■ Berne confirmation
that he had refused to discuss with
tbs Oerman foreign office before leaving Berlin the question of reaffirming the amended Prussian treaty of
1799.
